Tonight...I ran! If you know me, I am not a runner...at all! In fact, I despise it! My husband is the runner in the family.

Mom Life: A Trip to the Children’s Museum
Ladybug and I are headed to the kids Museum again this morning! I wanted to share this with you from our last trip 🙂

From Hawaii to Nebraska: Adjusting to the Cold Weather
Well, I must confess, I came to Nebraska for Christmas with a hidden agenda: to see how I respond to cold weather again. My husband retires from the Navy in a few years and we are talking more seriously about where we want to settle down for our "forever home." We both LOVE the idea of… Continue reading From Hawaii to Nebraska: Adjusting to the Cold Weather

What Being a Military Family Taught Me About the Holidays
